Automatic transmission woes 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be George on  Tue Jan 13 08:53 CST 2004 [RELATED]

My wife said that it seemed as if her 245 was having trouble getting gas. So I drove it first thing this morning. As soon as I pulled it out of the driveway and started up a hill, the wagon just wouldn't move. I shifted into neutral and revved it up and shifted into D. It finally engaged the transmission. It went fine on level and downhill. Got to another long hill and the car revved past 4 on the tack and finally shifted normally and the tack dropped back down to around 2. I immediately took it to my mechanic and described these symptoms. He said, "Sounds like it is on its last legs." The car has 185,000 on it. I did recently changed the tranny fluid. Did I not refill it right? I used Castrol Dextron III. Any ideas? Thanks, George
